Application Process

Upfront the event organizer sends the OotM request (event details, who to cover, etc...) to Kate

If within the rules (see below) it will be rapidly approved by Kate

The event organizer updates the OotM section below to track the application

After the event is performed the speaker, who made the travel/lodging expenses, e-mails a scan of the receipts to Kate

Kate re-imburses up to the approved budget and informs the event organizer

The event organizer updates the OotM section below

That's it!

OWASP On the Move Rules:

The following rules apply for the OotM project:

The normal maximum amount per speaker is 500 USD

Only in special circumstances the maximum amount per speaker can be raised to a maximum of $1000 USD

There is a proposed limit of 2,000 USD on the amount of $ provided to any individual per year (*see 'further funding' below)

There is a proposed limit of 1,000 USD on the amount of $ provided to any event per year(*see 'further funding' below)

There is a proposed limit of 2,000 USD on the amount of $ provided to any chapter per year(*see 'further funding' below)

The program will run for 1 year or 10,000 USD (whichever comes first) and then will be reviewed for the value and ROI for OWASP and its community;

So, a chapter can use the sponsorship 4 times a year, with the max of 2 speakers sponsored by OotM for one single event.

Further funding: for active chapters or speakers who have reach the proposed financial limits, further funding is possible but will depend on available budget, since priority would be given to chapters below these thresholds

OWASP on the Move funds are not to be used by speakers to attend OWASP conferences. If assistance is needed to attend a conference, contact the conference chair.
